Friendly Foreign Dimensional Exchange Student Spider-Man!: Academia

Witnessing the Friendly Neighborhood Hero

Izuku Midoriya, age 14, is currently running along the streets of Musutafu, Japan, trying to arrive at Aldera Junior High on time. With a freckled face and untidy green hair, he's wearing his mandatory black school uniform and carrying a big yellow school bag on his back. He stops at a sidewalk, still moving his legs as he waits. The pedestrian lights change color, and Izuku moves forward again, taking a right turn heading towards Tatooin Train Station. Rounding the corner, he sees from afar a giant man with a big shark-like nose and muscular body standing on the railway line, a loud monstrous shout bellowing out of him.

A few police are already blocking the path ahead forcing many bystanders to stop and wait. While Izuku stops running to stare, some are filming the villain with their phones. Others look annoyed or bothered that they'll be late. Several look in concern as to what he might do next. Izuku watches in amazement at how massive this supervillain is. Wanting to look closer, he moves forward, pushing through the crowd and making it to the very front.

"Hey Kōhei look, one showed up!" a woman shouts from the side of the street.

The crowd, including Izuku looks to their right, they see a short man slinging towards the villain on a white cord. All the pedestrians react in joy and wave at him. As the new hero soars, the boy looks at him with mouth hanging open in complete wonderment of the costume he's wearing. The hero sees and waves down at the crowd. The suit covered his whole body, it looked metallic with red and blue. Lines of black and bright gold, a black spider-shaped insignia on the chest, and two white patches representing the eyes on the face. This is a costume Izuku has never seen before, and could possibly be one of the best-designed.

The hero tugs on the cord and does a flip for the audience, with a flawless crouch like landing atop a train overhead line, the people cheer him for showing up in style. He notices as well but faintly that the hero is speaking English, maybe an American hero who has moved to Japan?

"Wow, who's that hero? His costume's amazing!" someone says in awe.

"I have no idea, it's the first time I'm seeing a Pro Hero like that." A woman responds next to him.

The Shark Giant sees the red-blue hero. He grits his teeth and hand swipes at the tower. The hero gets away, but the attack tears through the metal, sending a part of the mast over the edge of the bridge falling to the ground. The short man fires out a line of cord, catching it, but it's too heavy. Another man comes running to stop the heavy object. He arrives right above the sizeable metallic piece and grabs hold of it with his thick hands. The civilians, the police, and Izuku seeing the colored stripes of black and yellow on the large headband, wrist guards, and waist belt know who it is.

"Awesome! Way to go, Death Arms!" shouts one of the bystanders.

Then another person appears on the scene, arriving right behind the cops and the public. Dressed as a firefighter with a white and single orange bead mask, he sports a long yellow jacket with a red fireman hat and red kneepads. A thin cannon is strapped to his left shoulder, which is attached to the red water tank he wears on his back. He releases a small line of water from both his faucet taps for hands.

"Everyone, please stay back. This area is far too dangerous!" The fireman shouts as the line of floating water is placed, looking like a makeshift emergency fence coming from his taps.

"Woah, Backdraft is here too?!" says one of the onlookers near Izuku.

The spider hero dives to the side, just as the shark man's hand smashes where he once was. Flipping onto his outstretched arm, the hero runs up his sleeve even as the Shark Giant tries to swat him off. His hit goes wide as the hero dodges by inches and gets close enough to crack his foot against the shark's snout.

"Looks like we have a good newcomer and quite the introduction with a costume like that." Chuckles a bald, middle-aged man with three star-like shapes on his head wearing a plain white shirt.

"Oh man, this new guy's awesome, and with that suit, he definitely screams Pro Hero!"

Izuku now felt he could not curb his excitement any longer. Of all the hero fights he has seen in his life this will be his first-ever to witness a hero in his professional debut!

"I'll crush you like the bug you are!" Shouts the Shark Giant angrily at the hero in red and blue. He swings at him, only to roar in frustration as the newcomer dodges yet again.

Izuku's attention is then drawn to someone with a helmet, belt, kneepads, and shoes made of wood and full-body dark spandex joining the fight as well. A group of young women in the crowd screams in passion for his arrival. He reaches out, and his arms spread like tree branches wrapping around Shark Giant's arm.

"It's Kamui Woods! He may be new, but he's making a big name for himself!" Shouts Izuku.

"One look at that dopey grin of yours, and I know what you are: A fanboy." says the pointy bald man.

"Uh… sort of…" Izuku responds in chuckled embarrassment.

Then the Shark Man finally punches in the air catching the red-blue hero on the stomach. With the new guy flying out of the railway bridge, on reflex, he throws out two lines of the white cord. They connect to the bridge's wall slowing himself down as the American hero gets way too close to the bystanders. Most of them move away, but Izuku doesn't, he looks at the hero in complete awe to see him this close.

"Hey man, bye, man!" he yells, pulling against the rope and launching him right back into the thick of it. This catches Izuku by surprise and confusion, not expecting the hero's voice to be so young. How old is he?

"Canyon Cannon!"

The sudden shout of a woman twists the civilians, including Izuku's attention, to see a massive beige leg of an even bigger giant appearing with a purple and pale tan-colored skintight bodysuit, which is accented with orange stripes. She also wears a purple domino mask with horn-like protrusions on the sides. The heroine strikes the Shark Giant with her left foot and sends him flying.

"Awesome, even Mount Lady-"

Before Izuku could finish, he notices the red-blue hero couldn't stop his flight towards the giant women that suddenly appeared. So, like a fly hitting a car windshield, he slammed into her large rear. The speed of his trajectory against the large and soft behind causes the new guy to fall down to the ground faster. Unable to react, his head hits the pavement first before the rest of his body does. Everyone gasps in horror on how the hero landed on the ground, especially Izuku.

"Oh no! Hey, are you okay?!" he shouts to him.

The American doesn't respond but shows signs of movement from his body, the first to arrive close to him are Death Arms, Kamui Woods, and Mount Lady.

"Hey, are you alright?" Death Arms asks the newcomer, but again he gets no response.

"Damn it Mount Lady, what's with that flying kick?!" Kamui Woods asks her looking up.

"What? I just saw you dealing with that small giant, and I arrived to help Woods." She responds to him.

"Well, this guy here crashed into you, then fell straight to the ground head first." replies Kamui Woods.

Feeling a small collision coming from her butt earlier, seeing this young man in the ground, and hearing Kamui's words helped her to put two on two together. Resulting in the giant women shrieking in shock for understanding what mostly happened after she came into the fight.

"Holy Crap I-I really didn't mean it at all! I didn't see him! H-hey Death Arms is he alright?!" She asks in a panic.

"Don't know, but we may need to give him medical aid." Responds Death Arms.

"Yeah, and maybe the police…" adds Kamui Woods suspiciously, looking at the person and analyzing his fancy costume.

"Okay… well… I'll go apprehend that little Shark Giant." Says the worried Mount Lady as she goes to the downed rampaging shark-man.

The worried bystanders look at the new red-blue hero on the ground. But they're relieved that the villain was dealt with by all the heroes that arrived. While the civilians continue to look or leave the scene, Izuku was busy writing down some new information about the heroine Mount or Mt. Lady on his notebook. Taking notes of all the current well-known heroes and their "quirks".

"What's that fanboy your taking notes over there? Want to be a hero too?" says the pointy bald man.

"Yeah, more than anything!" Izuku exclaims before looking towards the American Hero still on the ground, police surrounding him

"But… I hope the new guy's okay…" he says concerned.

"Well, let's have faith that at least he's unconscious with no brain damage…" says the bald man. He then looks to Izuku again.

"By the way, aren't you going to school fanboy?" the question makes Izuku wide-eyed in fear as he quickly checks the time on his phone.

"Crap! I'm gonna be late! Thanks for reminding me, sir!" Izuku makes a dash for it, sprinting to get to school as quickly as possible.

"Hope you have the stamina kid!" the pointy bald man says, ending with him laughing.

For Izuku, becoming a Pro Hero like those ones he saw today is his ultimate dream. Ever since he was a young child, he learned that some people had more power and strength than others. He was one of the weakest when it came to fights with other kids. But he believes no matter what everyone says or who he is, Izuku can become the world's greatest hero even if he doesn't have a quirk. He'll definitely need to write a new page about that new red and blue hero that appeared since this one really shows the potential to become a great pro, even though he doesn't have his name.

But unknown to Izuku, he and that new English-speaking Hero will meet each other again, doing the Entrance Exam at one of the best hero academies in the world.
